I have a textbox and which is higher then a "normal" textbox. I am only able to enter text if I click on the "first row" of the textbox. How can I make it possible to click on any part of the textbox and be able to get the cursor shown because this is pretty anoying if you have a 5 line textbox and have to click on the first line to enter some text
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" Margin="0,0,15,0">
<TextBlock x:Name="lblObjective" Text="Objective" Style="{StaticResource TextBlockStyle}" VerticalAlignment="Center"></TextBlock>
<TextBox x:Name="Objective" Text="{Binding ObjectiveText, Mode=TwoWay}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Height="120" Width="500"></TextBox>
</StackPanel>
Edit:
This is the template that affects all textboxes in my application. Can anyone say what I need to add to be able to click anywhere on the textbox and still get the caret instead of having to click on the first line

If I remove the whole template everything works fine (i.e. wherever I click on the textbox I get a carret) but then the rest is also lost. So I am missing something any ideas?
Edit 2:
<ScrollViewer x:Name="ContentElement" BorderThickness="0" IsTabStop="False" Margin="4,0,2,2" VerticalAlignment="Top" Background="{x:Null}"/>
was the root of the problem... Instead of having VerticalAlignment="Stretch" it was set to top and therefor only one line was clickable...
I'm not sure what you are seeing but I find that in such a textbox clicking anywhere in the textbox gives it the input focus so I can start editing (regardless BTW of the state of AcceptsReturn although you should have that turned on).
However if the place you click in the box is beyond the end of the current string value the caret is placed at the end of the content not at the place you clicked. This is common text box behaviour, the text box in stackoverflow where I'm typing this has the same behaviour.
If you want to be able to start typing anywhere in the TexBox then you will need to detect the text position of the mousedown and inject the appropriate amount of whitespace. Not a trivial matter.

I don't know how I can customize the checkboxes in my multiselect listview in windows phone.

There are several issues with your template. First: You have to make sure that the element identified by Storyboard.TargetName and its property (you want to change) identified by Storyboard.TargetProperty actually make sense. You can change the color of a SolidColorBrush, and you can use a SolidColorBrush for a Textblock.Foreground property, but you cannot directly set the foreground property color, because foreground actually is a Brush (not a Color). Second: if you override the template of a control you have to provide all the VisualStates that are in the original template, that means you have to define the FocusStates as well.
Here is a template that does what you are trying to do:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Grid>
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Normal"/>

The default button style can be found on msdn.
Please see this page:

and see this page:

there are a sample for mouse over with templete
Make sure VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups is the direct child of the root element of your ControlTemplate. In your example, your root element is a Border, so put the VisualStateManager stuff directly under the Border tag.

Basicly what I want to achieve is to create a listpicker that looks like a scroll. When you click it the scroll expands and shows the entire options. Therefore I am not interested in using the full-screen look.
I have also done other tries with similar bad success where I used designed usercontrols as the scrolls top and bottom for animations. But the design of the listpicker has been impossible to do.
My question is therefore if somebody has a design of the listpicker, using usercontrols, such that I can override them or if you can direct me towards how to manipulate the listpicker correctly. I have used blend, experssion design, Illustrator and XAML, so any method for designing the listpicker using either of them would be much appreciated!
Visual Example
So the idea is something like this:
Such that the text is inside the scroll, when you click it, the scroll expands with a list inside you can scroll to choose elements.

Usercontrol of a scroll

The selected Item:
Click the element and a list appears:
This is how a listpicker works I want to design it as a scroll, either all from scratch or using the tool listpicker description, is what I am looking for. I have however not succeeded in making the expanding look nice.
I have made it the most simple I can. The idea is the following: the Translate and Scale properties are animated between states, others like Height, etc aren't. So Let's create the Layout like the following:
<StackPanel Width="500">
<Grid x:Name="HeaderGrid" Height="100" Background="Red" Tapped="HeaderGrid_Tapped"/>
<Grid VerticalAlignment="Top" x:Name="ContentGrid" Height="400" Background="BlanchedAlmond" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0">
<Grid.RenderTransform>
<CompositeTransform/>
</Grid.RenderTransform>
<ScrollViewer>
<ItemsControl>
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}" Tapped="TextBlock_Tapped"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<ItemsControl.Items>
<x:String>One</x:String>
<x:String>Two</x:String>
<x:String>Three</x:String>
</ItemsControl.Items>
</ItemsControl>
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
<Grid x:Name="BottomGrid" Height="100" Background="Red" Tapped="HeaderGrid_Tapped" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5">
<Grid.RenderTransform>
<CompositeTransform/>
</Grid.RenderTransform>
</Grid>
</StackPanel>
Now let's add some visual states to the page, control or what you need
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="VisualStateGroup">
<VisualStateGroup.Transitions>
<VisualTransition GeneratedDuration="0:0:0.5"/>
</VisualStateGroup.Transitions>
<VisualState x:Name="Expanded"/>
<VisualState x:Name="Collapsed">
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Duration="0" To="0" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.RenderTransform).(CompositeTransform.ScaleY)" Storyboard.TargetName="ContentGrid" d:IsOptimized="True"/>
<DoubleAnimation Duration="0" To="-400" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.RenderTransform).(CompositeTransform.TranslateY)" Storyboard.TargetName="BottomGrid" d:IsOptimized="True"/>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
And finally the codebehind for the change of states
private void HeaderGrid_Tapped(object sender, TappedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
CheckState();
}
private void TextBlock_Tapped(object sender, TappedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
var value = (sender as FrameworkElement).DataContext;
CheckState();
}
private void CheckState()
{
if ((ContentGrid.RenderTransform as CompositeTransform).ScaleY > 0)
VisualStateManager.GoToState(this, "Collapsed", true);
else
VisualStateManager.GoToState(this, "Expanded", true);
}
Now you can add fade on the text when appears and disappears, and change the colors for images, etc. But the idea is solved.
I am working on Windows Store App project usinc C#/Xaml. The apps main pages uses a Hub Control. Each HubSection has header. Some section use just plane Text but other sections should have interactive headers. This is no problem at all:
<HubSection Header="Plain Header 1">
...
</HubSection>
<HubSection IsHeaderInteractive="True" Header="Interactive Header 2">
...
</HubSection>
When IsHeaderInteractive is true the Header works like a button the interaction is indicated by a chevron in the title:
Interactiv Header 2 >
As far as I can see this the only way of interaction the SDK provides. But I have seen other section headers in other apps. Some use a chevron that does not point to the right but down to indicate that some kind of dropdown menu will open:
Interactiv Header 2 v
Other Headers show some kind of subtitle after the chevron:
LARG TITLE > small subtitle
Are these custom styles are there any SDK functions to get these other headers?
If custom styles are use, does anyone know how they work/look like?
yes, you need to change the ControlTemplate for the HubSection. Right-click on the HubSection in the Designer in Visual Studio or Blend. From the ContextMenu choose "Edit Template->Edit a copy".
You receive the following Style that sets the ControlTemplate:

Look in the ControlTemplate. There's a TextBlock with the name "IsHeaderInteractiveMarker". I've changed the Text to "This is the marker". Now the header shows this text for interactive headers instead of ">". You can just set the text to an empty string "" or exclude the TextBlock for your requirements. If you do the latter one, don't forget to also exclude the Storyboard-Animations for the IsHeaderInteractiveStates-Group.
And see the HubSection, how it references the Style with the custom ControlTemplate via StaticResource-Markup Extension. If you want the Standard-Behaviour on other HubSections, just don't set the Style-Property to the StaticResource. courtsey of Thomas Claudius Huber for helping me out.
I am trying to center the text in a TextBlock and PasswordBox.
In TextBlock I use TextAlignment Property to center the text horizontally, but it still close to the top. How to center the text vertically?
And in PasswordBox there is no property associate with the text alignment, how to achieve this??
TextAlignment is for horizontal alignment. TextBlock itself doesn't suport vertical alignment.
I suggest put a border around it and let border do vertical alignment:
<Border BorderBrush="{x:Null}" Height="50">
<TextBlock Text="Your text" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Border>
Or other way would be using height and set padding within textblock.
For password box use in WPF:
<PasswordBox HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" />
For Silverlight you will need to extract the actual template of passwordbox (use blend it allows you to edit template and copy that) then you can change the members (on ContentElement which is of type Border) with template binding like:
HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"
You can get the template also at this msdn link.
For passworbox in Silverlight update password box style in your xaml as this:
<ControlTemplate x:Key="ValidationToolTipTemplate">
<Grid x:Name="Root" Margin="5,0" RenderTransformOrigin="0,0" Opacity="0">
<Grid.RenderTransform>
<TranslateTransform x:Name="xform" X="-25"/>

Then your PasswordBox can have alignment as such:
<PasswordBox HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" VerticalContentAlignment="Center"/>
Change the TextBlock to a Label. A Label has a VerticalContentAlignment property which is used to center the content vertically.
This would do the horizontal alignment only.
For Horizental/Vertical both, better go with Label instead of TextBlock.
